Chickens!

Jeremy and I have been talking about getting chickens for a couple months now. It probably won't happen till next spring, but we're planning to build the coop by the end of the summer. In preparation we took a class called Chickens 101 and then we went to a chicken coop open house yesterday. These guys are pretty well known in the chicken community in the Twin Cities. They have tons of chickens, ducks, geese, and a goat I think. We hung out in the coop for awhile checking out the birds and asking more questions about coop building. More on this in the future.

Your Homesteader

This is the blog formerly known as “Northwest Meets Midwest,” where I shared about the absurdities and adventures of living in the Midwest (having moved here from the Northwest). But really, this blog has been more and more a story of how we’ve fallen into urban farming and homesteading. So read on and enjoy our adventures in canning, preserving, mushroom-growing, local/organic fanaticism, chicken raising, designing and constructing, sewing, and attempting a little self-sufficiency in our corner of Minneapolis.
